HELLO and welcome back to 2016’s My Favorite Things! THANK YOU to all of those playing along! Also, THANK YOU to all the incredible local businesses that have gifted this year and in the past. This is such a fun tradition! I am so excited to feature so many amazing local artists and I hope you have found some new gifts and new businesses to follow!

I am super excited to feature the amazing Marianne, the artist at Pink Raven Studio! Her gorgeous studio is in the same building as me and it is such a lovely space! I first fell in love with her last year and imagine my surprise when she moved into the same building! I was so excited! THEN I flipped open a Country Home magazine and recognized one of her paintings on the wall of the home they were featuring! I love all her vibrant work! Fiona in Goggles is one of my favorites as well as the Pink Raven, of course. Her work is so vibrant, colorful, and full of life. Her original works are available for purchase as well as prints, journals, coffee mugs, gift tags, and many other unique gifts! Ok I also LOVE the live the life of your wildest dreams coffee mug. When you get a chance you should swing by her studio and say hi. Her works are also available on Etsy and you can contact her through her Facebook or via her website. She also hosts first Fridays and has several other artists works available in her studio.

I am so excited for tonights winner! You receive a framed VW print of original painting, Happy Camper Coffee Mug, Pink Raven Journal and Gift Tag.
